Maternal Characteristics Measured Prenatally Are Predictive of Ratings of Temperamental "Difficulty" on the Carey Infant Temperament Questionnaire.
Vaughn, Brian E.; And Others
Developmental Psychology, v23 n1 p152-61 Jan 1987
Data from four studies answer Carey's (1982, 1983) critical questions about the validity of the original Infant Temperament Questionnaire (ITQ). Discussion illuminates the complexity of establishing the construct validity of psychological assessments used with infants. Data suggest that both the original and revised Carey ITQs fail discriminant validity tests. (Author/RH)
